How a Garden Office Supports Your Mental Health as a Remote Worker

The shift to remote work and freelancing is reshaping how we think about our workspaces. Having a place where you can focus, free from the blur of home life and work demands, is a game-changer for your productivity and mental well-being. This is why we offer a wide range of bespoke garden offices and office pods, giving you that vital separation to work effectively, think clearly, and maintain balance in your life.

The Downside of Working From Home

Remote work offers freedom and flexibility, but not without challenges. One major issue is isolation. Without the buzz of an office or the casual coffee breaks with colleagues, many remote workers find themselves feeling disconnected. This can lead to feelings of loneliness and even impact mental health.

Another significant challenge is maintaining a healthy work-life balance. When your home doubles as your office, the boundaries between personal and professional life blur, and it’s all too easy for work hours to extend well into what should be personal time – leading to burnout and stress.

 

The Effect on Mental Health and Well-Being

Constant connectivity to work can increase anxiety, while isolation can contribute to depression. The absence of physical separation between ‘work’ and ‘home’ spaces makes it harder for remote workers and freelancers to switch off, affecting their ability to relax and recharge.

Addressing these challenges is crucial not just for the sake of productivity, but for the overall health and happiness of those choosing to work in this way.

Our Solution Made for Remote Workers and Freelancers

We have worked to craft a range of garden offices and office pods specifically designed for people working from home part-time and full-time. Some of the standout features we have integrated into each of our designs include:

  • Superior Sound Insulation: This design consideration ensures that the usual household noises or external distractions are kept at bay, allowing for a focused work environment.
  • Engineered for Comfort: Equipped with optimal thermal insulation to help them remain cosy in winter and cool in summer, providing a pleasant workspace throughout the year. 
  • Better for the Eyes: Natural light floods these interiors through strategically placed uPVC windows and doors, reducing eye strain and boosting mood and productivity.

 

Open and Close the Door on Work When You Choose

This physical distinction of space helps to reinforce the mental boundary between work and personal life, making it easier to switch off at the end of the day. The short commute to your garden office serves as a ritual transition into work mode, enhancing focus and efficiency. At the same time, stepping out of the office signals the end of the workday, helping to relax and recharge.

  • My previous garage is still good after 13 years

    I previously bought from you in 2007. Still the same quality, and service. My previous garage is still good after 13 years so I knew how good the quality of your garages was before I decided to buy this one. Your office staff were also excellent.

    Mr Ironside

  • Superb customer service

    Super customer service. 5 Stars to all aspects of the purchase - many thanks. Just for information - I was recommended.

    Mr Denby

  • Great company – would certainly recommend.

    We've had two buildings from Warwick. First one over twenty years ago which we insulated and finished off ourselves. It's been brilliant so we had no hesitation to go back when we needed a second one. This time we chose a contemporary design which was fully kitted out, saving us time, money and arguments. Same lad that did the first one is still working there and takes care with the finishing touches. Great company - would certainly recommend.

  • The lads on the ground were fantastic

    Morning Jake Just wanted to thank you and all the team at Warwick Buildings for all your help in the delivery and installation of the outdoor garden pod. From start to finish, nothing was too much trouble and the lads on the ground were fantastic. Thanks and good luck for the future Regards Jon

    J Jones

  • Great to support local business

    Very professional throughout. Being able to view the product and discuss design and alterations was very important, especially when spending this amount. Seeing the product is key, plus being local - it was great to support local business.

    Hi Jake A little feedback and a request. I have been doing the necessary to protect our garage for the future - we are very pleased with the garage by the way - and wanted to share some pictures with you. Would you be able to tell us where you source your vent covers and confirm the size please - we need to match them on the fire boarding internally. Many thanks

    Mr & Mrs Bunce

  • I found them great and the building I bought is quality

    Well I'm just going to sell my 4 year old "traditional office" supplied by them as I don't use it much and came across these reviews. My office is (as stated) four years old. Still 100% water tight everything is perfect despite being under a tree all the time. I found them great and the building I bought is quality....

    Richard Jenkinson

  • It has enhanced our garden, the structure is very sound and looks great. Highly recommended.

    I was looking for an alternative to a standard concrete garage and found Warwick via google. I paid them a visit and was impressed with the standard of the wooden buildings they manufacture, so placed an order. Garage is now complete and I am very very pleased, it has enhanced our garden, the structure is very sound and looks great. Highly recommended.

    Mike Thornley

  • 23 Years old and looking fabulous

    Dear David You built the garage for me in Nov 2000 and the wood is as good today as when you built it and I’ve been very pleased with it. Rain stopped my Cuprinol painting this morning but I thought about the possibility of replacing the felt with Tapco slates, depending on price etc, as it has plenty of life left in it. Best wishes Mark D.

    Mark D

  • We’re very happy with the quality.

    I have previously purchased THREE double garages from Warwick Buildings, the first over twenty years ago is still standing, although unsurprisingly, we re-roofed it. Currently I'm awaiting a quote for a workshop - but the similar one they delivered and erected two years ago is still like new, no issues at all. We're very happy with the quality.

    David Holmes

  • Excellent organisation, great products

    Excellent organisation, great products, very "can-do" staff and outstanding customer service. Highly recommended.

    Andrew Murphy

  • I was impressed

    All 5 stars. I was impressed with the speed and the tidiness of the erecting of the garage, and the politeness of the team.

    Mr Warren

  • Very helpful.

    Visited here to get an idea of the possibilities for a new garden office workshop we are looking to have built. They have examples of the various buildings that appear on the website, makes it a lot easier to picture the options, and to get real idea of scale. The gentlemen we spoke to was very helpful. Now just need to put our design on paper.

    Dave Deacon

  • We love our new garden office

    Thanks for an outstanding buying experience. From the start, Warwick Buildings have been fantastic. The delivery & build team were great! We love our new garden office.

  • Great communication throughout

    I spotted your van when you were at my neighbours, popped in to see what they were having, and liked what I saw. What else can I say - great product, great communication throughout - easy process - very happy.

    Mrs Nix

  • We LOVE our garden office

    Hi Team Warwick…
    Hope you are all well. We LOVE our garden office and I’ll send you some photos in a mo, although we haven’t quite finished decorating the garden outside so will send you more once we have!

  • 30 Years old – still looks fantastic

    I'm finally returning as a customer, as I would like 2 buildings for the house I'm moving to in Norfolk. The last one is 30 years old and still looks the same as the day it was put up. No rot, no decay - just a brilliant building. The overhangs really protect it, and I've only re-felted it once in all that time. I'm delighted you're still in business as I'm not looking anywhere else for the new ones.

    Mr Ford

  • Excellent on site team

    Local customer and was recommended. The on site team were excellent, as were the office staff. 5 stars too for the showroom and website. Would certainly use you again if I moved house.

    Mr N Taylor

  • Everything I had hoped for.

    I was unable to visit the show site and so was a little concerned as to what the build quality would be like. I needn’t have worried as when the product was delivered it was everything I had hoped for.

    Mr Pygall

  • Five Stars All Round

    After an extensive internet search I chose Warwick Buildings for my home office. Thank you to the entire team. Easy to understand price builder, great sales team, fabulous on site team. 5 Stars all round.

  • I purchased a cabin from you in 2014

    I purchased a cabin from you in 2014 (10 years ago). I subsequently obtained planning permission for use as a Holiday Let and it has been successfully used as such since. The building has served purpose well and I have been very pleased with it, and it's still going strong. Regards Elizabeth

  • Add a smart home switch

    The building is brilliant - service was fantastic. Would like to have the option of a smart light switch so Alexa can turn on the lights.

    Neil & Kendra

  • Value for money

    I chose Warwick because they adapted my office to suit me, and they would always update any changes in writing. OK the lead time was a bit longer than I'd anticipated, but that meant they were busy, so it gave me confidence that my money was safe. The team arrived and built it in next to no time, and they even cleared up after themselves... I'd have no hesitation in recommending them

    Hello, we bought one of your lovely garden buildings 5 years ago. We now need to move it. Any advice? Thank you .......

    I've known Warwick Buildings for a long time and I've been daydreaming about working from home in my very own garden office for years. Finally I've managed to connect the loose ends together, and I am now enjoying the increased enthusiasm that I get from the improved vista that overlooks the valley below. It's certainly been worth the wait. Loving the garden office

    We are so glad to have found you. We are surrounded by 'bespoke' garden office companies here in London - but your range is just as impressive.

  • Superb.

    Superb. I've just had a garage supplied and installed by Warwick, and have been very impressed with both the building itself and their customer service and support. The building was supplied and fitted ahead of schedule, which was nice. After initial installation there were a couple of minor snags, which Warwick addressed and put right first thing the next day. You can't ask for more than that. I would wholeheartedly recommend Warwick based on both the quality of their product and their customer service.

    Chris Baker

  • Super buildings

    I'm a very pleased returning customer. Super buildings as always. Looking forward to the next one.

  • Its still brilliant and good as new so many thanks.

    Hiya I bought a curved office room from you back in 2015, its still brilliant and good as new so many thanks. However I would really like to extend it to add a small kitchen and bathroom. Is this even possible? I seem to remember it was built in kit form so if I cut some of the wall out as doors to the extension will that ruin the integrity of the room? Just wondering if you had any advice on how I might be able to extend it? Many thanks Amanda

    Amanda N

  • See google review

    Not many people add a Google review as well as sending back their aftersales questionnaires. Mike was delighted with the new garden office and rated the office team as outstanding, and the on site team as excellent. The full review is on Google.

  • Excellent Service

    Excellent service. Online design process was incredibly simple. Communication ahead on install was faultless and the install was quick and the team very friendly. Would highly recommend. Great price too.
